for Friday, October 5th, 2012

Mammoth Lakes : Fishing in the Mammoth Lakes area is great
Hot Creek: No crowds at Hot Creek and active fish chomping flies on the surface.
San Joaquin River: Fishing is fair at the San Joaquin and the flows are almost too slow
Crowley Lake: The big fish at lake Crowley are more spread out which makes the fish harder to find
Owens River: Fishing at the Upper Owens has not hit the hot meter yet
Owens River: Fishing hasn't changed much at the Owens River Gorge
Rock Creek - Section 1: Fish the lakes on the way up to Rock Creek
Rush Creek: Rush Creek is fishing very well above 395, especially in the afternoon
Bridgeport Reservoir: There are good hatches at Bridgeport Reservoir, the problem is finding the fish
East Walker River (CA): The best results on the East Walker are to use mayfly nymphs in the mornings
